Birthdays and Ballgames!

Wow! It has been quite some time since I've had a moment to be on here. Feels good to open these pages again and be able to take a minute to get things out. Whew, after a 5-day stay at my mom's for the little ones second birthday in which seemed like it took a week to recover. We were busy little bees while there! We went to local parks, the nearest beach, Bass Pro (I mean come-on, what two year old doesn't want to visit Bass Pro on his birthday), and the zoo. You add in the six hours down there and six hours back, yeah, it was exhausting but SO much fun! Since being back we have been wrapped up in ball games with the oldest. Just last week alone they played six games! Yes, I said six. That means six times I had to run the washer with just a uniform to get it done in time for the next game. We won't even talk about Friday nights (late) double header, washing uniform, no sleep, having to be at the ballfield Saturday morning at 9:30; meaning I had to have both kids fed, dressed, and sunscreened up to be out the door super early after a night of no sleep for me! We'll just skip that ordeal entirely. Just the thought of it makes me tired. The joys of having a kid in sports. Geez, I have no clue what I will do when it's time for the youngest to start playing, if he chooses to that is. Baseball will be over in less than a month, so I'll tough it out until then. After all I am a cooler totin', cleat huntin', uniform washing, hootin' hollerin', baseball mom! I mean, they always say "diamonds are a girl's best friend", in my case it's the baseball diamond! Play ball!
